    Speaking of Louisiana, I just heard about those 6 teens that died in a river in LA. Very sad.
    HI Angela and Sandy - great to meet y'all!

    Terribly about the kids in the river. (((
  • I made chocolate chunk cookies at work and it took every ounce of willpower I have ever had to stay away from them...the place smelled like cookies all day!!!!

    But I did it! Glad you did too!!
  • OMG, I'm going crazy!!!!! Went off plan last Friday, had subway, although healthy choice, still not OP, and by WI on Sunday gained 2 lbs, I thought thats the price I pay to splurg a little. Then on Monday, my friend (monthly, but not so monthly for me) started, which I haven't had for 4 months now, has really made me gain 3lbs. Is it just a coincident that I went off plan and mother nature cursed me, LOL! I swear when it's over I better of drop all the gain, and then lose a little more!!! Let's see.....go off plan, and then start your period, sounds like a double whammy to me!!!!
  • Yeah that's a double whammy for sure!! But drink lots of water and get back on track, and next week you will have dropped all that extra weight and then some!

    I hosted National Night Out at our house last night, and I had every intention of being good. But didn't. I wasn't horrible, but definitely ate some stuff off plan...so back on track today and need to make sure I get my water intake in.
  • Hey Junie & Hope - I'm from Central LA too! Went to Rapides High School in LeCompte - raised in Forest Hill - my brother and sister both live in Pineville. I live in Dallas now, but love seeing my peeps from LA!! I think it's harder for us because our food is SOOOOO good. Hee hee hee.
  • 6 pounds so far!!! GO ME (we wont mention that it may have been better had I not ate pizza Sunday night )

    Hey Guin! Great to meet you! : ))) and yes, I think the hardest thing for me is not eating Red Beans and Rice...my before diet every Monday staple....*sigh*. ; )

    Great job on the 6 lbs!!!
  • Is this a thread just to post anything? This is the first day on the plan that I've come home super excited! I've lost 12.5 in total as of today, only 3 pounds away from the top of the healthy range, and went up another percent in hidration to 48%! I've been SO frustrated with how slow I'm losing, but all these little things added together makes feel just a teeny bit better
  • Went to WI today.. Down 2.5lbs.. YEAH!!! It feels good to stay on plan.. It's been hard getting back on the plan.
  • Went to WI today and I lost 2.5 pounds this week. A little less than normal, but just started my monthly...blah!! Oh well, what's a girl to do??? Good job & good luck to all!!!

    Great job!!!!
  • Great job Meezoogirl and shannysmomma too! You guys are doing wonderful! What a great start to our weekend, right? I didn't go into the center today - vet appt for our puppy and drs appt for my youngest, but on my scale, I am down a lb from Tuesday.
  • I went to my center last night to join the C25K Walking Club - the center bailed on us because of the 105 degree heat, but me and 2 other girls were going to walk regardless of what the Texas weather had to throw at us! We walked for 45 minutes. It felt great, and I will commit myself to doing it every week whether or not my center does!
